Incubators for Hatching Eggs

An incubator for hatching eggs is a specially designed device that creates the ideal environment for developing and hatching bird or reptile eggs without the need for a mother to sit on them. It carefully regulates key conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation, which are crucial for embryo growth. Most incubators have thermostats and digital controls that maintain a consistent temperature—usually around 99–100°F for chicken eggs—and humidity levels that help prevent the eggs from drying out. Many models also include automatic egg turners, which gently rotate the eggs several times a day to ensure even heat distribution and proper embryo development.
